So many exciting things are happening here at Liz Lidgett Gallery and Design and we are so excited to introduce to you a new artist we are working with! Rachel Walteris a realist artist with her head in the clouds.

Her subject of work is often focused on the sky, the stars, the clouds - anything that causes us to look up. Her work is made with layers upon layers of paint that are highly detailed and focused on making the viewer feel the mightiness of nature, and in turn, the fragility and significance of humanity. Being a Texas native, Austin skys inspire Rachel to dream and she turns that into a beautifully rendered masterpiece of light and atmosphere dancing together miles and miles from earth.

Her hope with her work is that it draws a connection between physical laws and themes such as awakening the human spirit, morality and fragility, and suffering. She wants her work to awaken an admiration and appreciation toward the cosmos and we are able to see the world through her eyes with her amazing, realist oil paintings.

A fearless mix of patterns, colors, and textures that turns comfort into a conversation starter.

Last week, I gave our Gallery Insiders an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what my walls have been up to. Since releasing my book Art For Everyone, I’ve been prioritizing projects in my own home—using it as both a canvas and a testing ground for ideas I share in the book. One of my favorite recent projects has been completely transforming my kids’ playroom. With the help of an exciting new collaboration with a wallpaper company (stay tuned for the name reveal), the space came to life in a whole new way. As part of the Gallery Insiders exclusive, I hosted a photoshoot right in my home to showcase the new wallpaper designs. While the photographer captured the bigger picture, I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos myself—little glimpses into the DIY projects I’ve been pouring into every corner, tweaking and perfecting until they felt just right. From the dining room to the living room, the kids’ spaces, and even the mudroom, I realized how much inspiration hides in everyday details. And yes, I’ll admit— Pinterest and Facebook Marketplace have been my secret weapons! Today, I’m excited to share a closer look at my home and the inspiration behind it all. In Art For Everyone , you’ll find more photos of my spaces styled with artwork from our gallery, showing how art can live side by side with family life. What started as saved pins and mood boards has turned into real, lived-in rooms—proof that inspiration doesn’t have to stay digital. With a little creativity (and some persistence), those “someday ideas” can become the backdrop of everyday life.
